The hostage

I do it, I do it contrary to myself
Only to earn for a bread
I have other wishes, other dreams
I've been putting to sleep by the monotonous regularity

Locked up by a golden key
Like a hostage
Locked up by a golden key
Like a hostage

Day after day, like two peas in a pod
8 hours go on forever
For how many years I will have been awakening
From this hypnosis by a wild sound of sirens

Locked up by a golden key
Like a hostage
Locked up by a golden key
Like a hostage

You tell me that you see
Two men in me
Different, as a day and a night
One of them born at 4 PM
Cool guy, that's the way you want me
And the other one
Who is stuck at work
Has a shy face
Face white as a sheet
He moves like a robot, like he was in a dream
Oh, no!
That's the way you don't want to know me
Hostage

You do it, You do it contrary to yourself
Only to earn for a bread
You have other wishes, other dreams
You've been putting to sleep by the monotonous regularity

Locked up by a golden key
Like a hostage
Locked up by a golden key
Like a hostage
